This is the first era in humanity’s existence where screaming into the vast abyss will get you a few digital screams of reassurance echoed back at you, sometimes hundreds. Historically there is no precedence for this, nor evolutionarily, and people are not developed catered to this modern existence. It is truly wonderful to get to exist in this moment in human history where not only can we shoot satellites into space but we can also instant message poo emojis to someone on the other side of the planet, and get their response poo emojis instantly, without having to wait for it to be carried on boats, on the backs of horseback postmen and on pidgeons.

Isopropyl alcohol (99% is the good stuff), maybe 2-4 cotton swabs, air dry. Dip swab, rub contacts softly, flip sides of cart, rub, cycle swab, repeat. I had no idea for so many years I was actually damaging the cartridges by blowing into them which just put hot air and moisture on dust. If you have any Switch cartridges or older, and haven’t done a proper cleaning, it’s amazing how shiny and vibrant the contacts will end up looking, along with the cartridge working more stably.

Unknown Horizons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Horizons Its free, and has a fun gameplay cycle and UI. The game engine the old version used is outdated and it’s undergoing a slow Godot rewrite to modernize it. I’ve spent at least a hundred hours playing it, it’s a lot of fun and keeps things simple but strategic.

She is a human woman with skin, hair, bones, organs, and is capable of creating sound. Other humans receive dopamine from experiencing the audio she creates. They also are human people with brains.

I was given SSRIs and after those caused explosive reactions later rediagnosed Bipolar Type 1 and prescribed mood stabilizers. The SSRI put me in an odd haze and stunted my emotional abilities to look more naive/childlike, with rare outbursts of emotion loosely connected to anything rational, ending in me taking midnight walks in bad places sobbing and manic the whole time. When I was prescribed Lamictal as mood stabilizer, it did work bit but I started to notice a split-brain where my thoughts and external body were disconnected and I felt trapped unable to actually express what I feel in my mind. Then those made my eyes bleed and got The Rash so I quit and gave up and stopped all mental health care, then later moved. The best thing I got out of it was all the eye-opening therapy and counseling. Things have gotten better since then, unmedicated, but keeping calm and meditating inward is still sometimes tough.

It’d be great for him to manage to pull a rabbit out of his trick hat and make another legend again. Some of his older games are absolute gems, but I wasn’t astonished by The Trail: Frontier Challenge which lowered my expectations for his future works. Hopefully his next not-Fable is a fun experience worth playing that brings some solid gameplay to the table.

All of the games in the Tribes series, my personal favorites being Tribes Ascend and Aerial Assault. Tribes had a play style similar to Halo but with a movement more like Unreal along with a touch of ‘surfing’ over land and some jetpacks. They’re all great fun and still fun for me to play today. IIRC, the last game’s official online servers are no longer active, but there is a community following for Tribes Ascend that helps keep the game alive and updated, look up TribesLauncherSharp and TAMods for more info if interested. I backed up the disc I have for Tribes Aerial Assault to an ISO and it works great in PCSX2. With 1080p/4K rendering, extra graphics options, wide-screen patches, and controller customization it’s way easier to play than originally on composite CRT with a Dualshock.

For self-hosted hobby instances, expenses are likely all out of pocket. Instances amassing a large amount of users could potentially be driven to aggressive financially-driven changes of how their instance works, to maximize exposure to ad posts or sponsored pinned posts, for example. Donation-centric contribution helps alleviate that kind of seeping financial platform degradation.

FX Fighter, Enemy Engaged: RAH-66 Comanche vs. KA-52 Hokum, Sim City 3000, Descent, and Carnivores 2. Just love the janky 3D, complicated keyboard bindings, goofy UIs, and crunchy textures.

Not until the tendency for the mainstream to gravitate to centralization is changed. Lemmy will need exponential growth to become large enough in userbase to be a mainstream consideration to use the federated replacement.
